My deskmate is actually my yandere reader.

"spring."

That single soft call was like the most potent poison, making it impossible for Kurose Izumi to forget.

"Qianlian, what should I do?"

He slowly closed his eyes and murmured softly.

In the darkness, dappled light appeared, and Shiraishi Chire's face gradually emerged.

Then, she smiled gently, her cool eyes softening and becoming affectionate, so warm it seemed to melt him.

"spring."

"I like you the most."

In a gentle tone, Shiraishi Chiren confessed her love, her voice soft yet solemn.

After that, darkness engulfed Shiraishi Chiren, and in her place came another face—Kuchiki Touko.

"Teacher Eternity".

"I like you the most."

She was also making a heartfelt confession, but her tone betrayed a sense of madness and morbidity.

That was love so extreme it was almost distorted.

It is about incorporating Kurose Izumi into one's very being, becoming one with her, and sharing an inseparable love.

Kurose Izumi silently pondered these two loves, lost in her own world, unable to extricate herself.

132. The Helpless Shiraishi Chiren

The next morning, at 7:23 AM.

"Fountain, spring."

In a hazy state, Izumi Kurose heard a sound in her ear, as if someone was calling her, the voice soft and ethereal.

Immediately, a slightly cool touch and kneading sensation came from my face, and my body began to sway gently.

"Well……"

After letting out a murmur, Kurose Izumi slowly opened her eyes and looked toward the source of the strange feeling.

In a daze, he saw a person by the bed, leaning down and pinching his face, playing with it wantonly.

The person had a faint smile on their face, as if they found it amusing to play with his face.

"Shiraishi...?"

Kurose Izumi looked at the person—that is, Shiraishi Chirei—still unable to understand the current situation, her mind still a little confused.

But the next second, memories flooded his mind, recalling everything that had happened yesterday.

I think I stayed up a little late last night because I was writing the script.

I remember falling asleep around 2 a.m.?

"Good morning." After greeting him, Shiraishi Chiren smiled and tugged at his cheek. "Why don't you sleep a little longer if you're still not fully awake?"

"...Do you think I can sleep under these circumstances?" Kurose Izumi looked at Shiraishi Chiren playing with her face, her lips twitching slightly.

This woman... is completely arrogant!

Breaking into a private residence is one thing, but disturbing the homeowner's rest is simply outrageous!

"If you keep sleeping, you'll be late." Shiraishi Chiren pointed to the wall clock; it was already 7:23.

...At this time of day, there's still plenty of time to go to school.

After all, the first class doesn't start until 8:20 in the morning.

"So, what are you doing here?" Kurose Izumi grabbed her messy hair and sat up halfway. "Even if I'm late, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Don't say such heartless things."

Even though Izumi Kurose was cold, Chire Shiraishi remained unconcerned, her face still bearing a gentle smile.

Seeing this, Kurose Izumi didn't bother to dwell on why she was there and simply said, "Alright... I need to change my clothes."

"Let's change it."

"...What are you still standing here for? Perhaps you want to help me change?"

"It's an honor." Shiraishi Chiren's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take off Kurose Izumi's shirt.

"Stop! Stop! Who asked you to change it for me?! I can change it myself! Get out of here!"

As Kurose Izumi shouted in shame and indignation, she quickly covered her chest, looking exactly like a weak woman about to be molested by a greasy old man!

Shiraishi Chiren pouted, her tone full of regret, and said, "How heartless. I really wanted to help Izumi change her clothes. Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

"Alright, you can get out of here now! I really need to change my clothes!"

Urged on by Izumi Kurose, Chire Shiraishi reluctantly left the master bedroom and went to the living room to wait.

Only then did Kurose Izumi breathe a sigh of relief and begin to change her clothes.

He took off his slightly disheveled, wrinkled pajamas and put on a neatly ironed shirt.

Then, he put on Western-style school uniform trousers and lazily tied a tie...

It was five minutes later when I finally changed my clothes.

"Ha~"

Kurose Izumi yawned as she walked out of the main room and immediately saw Shiraishi Chiren sitting in the living room, acting like the lady of the house.

At that moment, her gaze also turned towards Kurose Izumi.

Meeting Shiraishi Chiren's gaze, Kurose Izumi asked somewhat puzzled, "W-What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Izumi..." Shiraishi Chiren called softly as she stood up from the sofa and came to him.

Then, she reached out and untied Kurose Izumi's rather loose and casual tie, and then retied it.

After tying her tie properly, Shiraishi Chiren stepped back and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Izumi, you should tie your tie properly too. You look so handsome, yet you're so casual about it."

Kurose Izumi turned her head away and muttered softly, "...This is more comfortable."

"Go wash up. I've already made breakfast. We'll go to school together after you eat."

"Are you my nanny? You don't need to do these things, anyway..."

“Why isn’t it necessary?” Shiraishi Chiren interrupted softly. “I want to do these things for Izumi. Taking care of Izumi makes me feel happy. Isn’t that necessary?”

"Fine, I can't argue with you. Do as you please."

Kurose Izumi sighed, turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up, feeling a little troubled.

That's so despicable.

He said those words that moved him so deeply, in that tone and manner.

In this way, he won't be able to say the opposite of what he means anymore.

'Sigh, Qianlian, I really can't beat you...'

Thinking about these things, Kurose Izumi, having finished washing up, walked out of the bathroom, picked up her schoolbag from the living room, and prepared to go to school.

At this moment, Shiraishi Chiren asked with slight concern, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat some breakfast first? What if you get hungry during class?"

"I'm not hungry, so I'll just leave it here and heat it up when I get back tonight."

"It won't taste good at night."

"...I have no appetite right now."

Faced with Kurose Izumi's repeated rejections, Shiraishi Chiren couldn't help but show a look of dejection on her face.

She asked in a low voice, "Izumi, do you hate me?"

"Do not……"

Kurose Izumi gently shook her head, turned her head to look at Shiraishi Chiren, and said firmly, "I... like you the most."

But it is precisely because of this liking that I feel awkward and say one thing but mean another.

They may make excuses on the surface, but they won't actually refuse outright.

He had been trying to convince himself to accept Shiraishi Chire, but he could never manage it.

Because whenever he does this, the image and voice of Kuchiki Touko will appear from the bottom of his heart and overlap with Shiraishi Chiren.

A simple apology cannot erase this grudge.

This cannot be offset by patient care alone.

But Shiraishi Chiren was still unwilling to give up and insisted, "Then... how about eating a little bit?"

"Never mind, let's eat it tonight. I really don't want to eat it now, sorry."

In the past, Izumi Kurose might have agreed, but he really had no appetite now.

He made himself a late-night snack while staying up late last night, so he's not hungry now.

In addition, due to lack of sleep, my mind was a bit foggy, which made me even less hungry.

"All right……"

In the end, Shiraishi Chiren gave up.

She looked disappointed, and so did she feel.

Being rejected repeatedly is a truly unpleasant experience.

It was as if Kurose Izumi was rejecting her and didn't want to accept any more of her kindness.
